HoLR2512-5mR-1%
Milliohm
Needs validationmedium risk
A 3W power upgrade with matched electricals, but in a much larger 2512 package requiring board redesign.
Best Alternatives to MLR06A1R005F2
Finding a substitute for the MLR06A1R005F2, a 1W 5mΩ resistor in a 0612 package, requires careful consideration. While several parts offer matching electricals and higher power, they come in larger packages, necessitating a board redesign.
AI replacement insight
Package riskhigh
No alternatives in the same 0612 package meet the power safety margin. A PCB respin is necessary.
Electrical risklow
Resistance, tolerance, and TCR are well-matched or improved in most candidates.
Can it be replaced directly?
No direct pin-compatible replacements were found. All suitable alternatives require a PCB layout change due to different package sizes.
Best replacement path
Upgrade to a higher power resistor (1.5W or 3W) for improved thermal performance, but be prepared for a larger package size requiring a board layout change.
Main risk
Package risk: All candidates have larger footprints (e.g., 2010, 2512) than the target's 0612 package, requiring board redesign.
